tup and ninja are (*nix, OS X, Windows), redo mentions that it probably doesn't work on windows.

Builds and Runs apparently: https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/810#issuecomment-74986...

Python has one as well: https://pexpect.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

I've been casually watching these, might be able to clear some stuff up...

He started out with a widows platform layer, which implements generic services (input, sound, rendering, memory allocation) to get the system boot strapped. Since then he's mostly been writing generic game code (player movement, world rendering, time management, etc) which consumes the abstracted services and is cleanly separated from his windows platform layer. He architected it in such a way that it can be easily ported to other platforms once they have a game (he's brought up the raspberry pie a bunch a possible target platform).

The other people doing the ports have ported the "lessons" to other platforms so that people who don't run windows can (mostly) follow along, they are just viewers of the stream.

As for language choice, it is mostly C, the only C++ feature he uses (and why he compiles with a C++ compiler) is function overloading.

I've had Elixir on by backlog of languages to play around with for a while now. This weekend I actually got a chance to sit down and poke around for a while. It was really enjoyable, love the tight integration of pattern matching. The ecosystem surrounding the language also seems very nice: The REPL, the mix build tool, and the nice integration with unit testing, are all very attractive features of the platform.

I took the chance to write up my beginning experience playing with the language, trying my best not to look at the docs. You can find the write up here: http://bjg.io/learning-elixir/

There also seem to a bunch of existing resources for getting started:

The title on your repro currently says "DCMA comparison".

You should send a pull request, to add that as one of the "External Reading Lists"

I'm curious if the submitter has been listening to SModcast[0]? They had a few episodes on the Gimli Glider recently.

It's pretty much a set it and forget it mining.

Altering natura ecosystem further is more favorable than inconveniencing people while they go about their days?

Is that Bug.n for tiling?

Which link to github downloads? :)

I see where you are coming from.

I guess my hesitation was caused by the assumption that while windows before NT was all 16 bit / 32 bit hybrid; it's API's are still essentially the same which is what you would care about when re-platting an API.

However I will concede my argument like a true gentlemen, as I now realize the ABI is what we should care about. It is almost certainly different even if the API's haven't fluxed that much, and that is what a re-platt project would most care about.

While I agree with your point, I'm not sure if Windows NT is the correct comparison.

Not exactly what you are looking for, but the bing team posted some perf increases they saw when testing Server 2012 http://blogs.technet.com/b/windowsserver/archive/2012/06/07/...

You should use the feedback button on the right!

Bug.n is the closest thing I've ever found. However it still leaves much to be desired. http://www.autohotkey.net/~joten/

Not sure what you meant by the "Explorer menus and such" But the chrome is theme-able.

I'm guessing if you have a chrome book it would be a nice solution.
